The Group’s mission is to highlight the needs and views of the European members, develop collaboration amongst the firms in the alliance, and ensure that the voice of the membership is heard by the Meritas global Board of Directors.

“Lexia has been involved with the Meritas activities for a year now, and we have found it to be a very useful network. Through Meritas, our customers have access to a truly global alliance of members that are truly committed to first-class quality. This gives our customers the best possible help for their legal needs, whether the need is in Asia or in the US markets,” says Olli Kiuru, responsible for Lexia’s international relations.
